I've done the suede headliner on my Yukon XL and trust me you don't want to do it twice. Remove all pillar panels by removing all screw and get a set of panel removal tools, because you will brake the clips with screwdrivers. Make sure you have a buddy helping you because you do not want to bend the headliner at all. I had a guy do the suede on the headliner after I took it of if you want to save some money. Also at the time it is a good idea to dynamat the roof if your going to have a system because the roof will make your system sound like crap. My buddy and I did the pillars no problem and I had never done suede work before. Also make sure you use high quality glue because if you don't then you will have to do it again in a few months. I believe the interior guy used DAP in a light blue little barrell. Also make sure you have all your pillars suede in the same direction how is brushed. Don't forget the visors and the rear upper panel of the hatch. Keep us updated.

DAP wellwood is exactly what I use. Make sure you spray the headliner and suede let it stick for a few minutes until its tacky then put it together from the center out. The headliner will absorb lots of the glue so make sure you put enough but don't overdue it then it will seep throught the suede and start all over again with new suede.
